Michael McCoys’s Desert Island Gardens

We have asked the ultimate garden tour organiser to share with us his favourite five gardens?  A challenge that Australian garden designer, writer and broadcaster Michael McCoy has taken on!  Michael travels the world leading a group of garden designers and enthusiasts, to see the most innovative and inspirational gardens.  He has an uncanny knack of sniffing out gardens that are under the radar but soon to become world leaders in terms of cutting edge horticulture and design.  We just couldn’t resist asking Michael to share his top five with us, so join us on Thursday at 6pm UK time to discover where he is taking us on the ultimate garden trip.

Inspired by the BBC Radio 4 programme, Desert Island Discs, one of the world’s longest running regular radio programmes; guests choose the five gardens they would fantasise about if they were stranded on a desert island.
